Here's What's in Evolve's Big Alpha, and What You Need to Run It on PC

<< LINK REMOVED >> Sadly, no.

<< LINK REMOVED >> ACU's specs are misleading. The "gtx 680 or better" if more like 680 or newer, because they won't validate any gfx card older than a 680 and I'm pretty sure a 750 will be just fine, and will is more than enough for the console settings (900p/30 fps on high). and their cpu reqs are utter bullshit. the i5-2500k and the i7-3770 are very very close in gaming performace and gap between the 2500k and amd pII x4 940 is huge.

Hard to optimize for PC when you have 15 studios working the game at once so you can release a new one (or two) every year.

<< LINK REMOVED >> According to CPU boss, they just about are.
<< LINK REMOVED >>

Its from the guys who made left 4 dead which I found to be a surprisingly addictive experience

<< LINK REMOVED >> Well I guess what appeals to me is that it is a asymmetrical shooter. I've played games like COD and Battlefield hundreds of times and I've grown bored of them. I like the idea of humans vs some kind of creature, but you get play as that creature. I'm just glad it's not more zombies/mutants because I seen enough of those already.

Also since the main focus of the gameplay is four hunters hunting down a monster, it kind of reminds me of another game that I enjoy which is Monster Hunter.

<< LINK REMOVED >> not if you only have 1GB RAM

<< LINK REMOVED >> Honestly on low settings Crysis 2 and 3 can run perfectly on a toaster too.

DICE and Crytek are the only devs that can optimize a game these days.

<< LINK REMOVED >>Not really sure you understand how 'optimization' works :p It's not really some magic coding they include/neglect that makes the games run perfectly by default. It's more the plethora of settings they can allow the user to tweak. The smooth transition to Keyboard/mouse, especially if it's a port. You see console ports are great sometimes when they allow the PC user to change settings based on their rigs. When you don't see Xbox buttons in your monitor.

Take Evil Within, lazy optimization for the PC. Assassin's Creed: BF? Great optimization. A sea ("_) of settings to play with, to ensure a smooth sailing ("_) experience on all different rigs. Not only that, its creators also released a detailed article explaining what each setting did, cuz what the **** is God Rays.. Great support.

Usually the console versions are optimized well, or well enough, cuz you can't control their settings. The PC version is then usually half assed. Great optimization for a PC player won't mean you'll be able to run the game on ultra settings on your "toaster." It means you'll have the option to change things around so your toaster can run the game. For Evolve, as they said, the game will still require a 680 or better to run well on top settings. 560 or higher, you'll tone down settings to ensure smooth FPS. Lower than 560? Probable FPS drops even with lower settings. For a new game, it sounds reasonable.

<< LINK REMOVED >> This is from the studio behind Left 4 Dead and Counter-Strike Source. Of course they can optimize.

<< LINK REMOVED >> optimization takes along time and also only goes so far doesn't mean you have super realistic 4K graphics on a low end GPU

<< LINK REMOVED >> From the big range of specs, can't you say whether it's optimized or not?

<< LINK REMOVED >> You really shouldn't give your opinion when you don't know what you're talking about, you're just gonna get insulted.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Lol! They announced the requirement as a specific card, and you happen to own a slightly better card. Hilarious! Thanks for sharing.

<< LINK REMOVED >> these specs are right go check out assassins creed unity specs

<< LINK REMOVED >> Just? There's a *huge* difference between 30FPS and 60FPS. It's going to be pretty funny when people who never considered how important 60FPS is until they see them in Youtube now overtime now that you can *finally* watch 60FPS footage on the site.

<< LINK REMOVED >> 660 will do fine.
